If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny, when you're dead how people start listening
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys
And I'll wear my pearls

~If I Die Young- The Band Perry
I absolutely love this song, the lyrics are so powerful and hold lots of meaning, I really love this quote
"Funny, when your dead how people start listening"
So true, something I think we need to think about, why should we wait for someone to pass on before we start listening? Why should we wait for something as final as death before we give someone a chance to make a difference. This world isn't fair, and was never meant to be but I think we should try to make it as much as possible, thats the whole reason we're here. To do our best, and to help everyone do that too....
Another song that I have discovered lately is Glitter In The Air By P!nk. I have to say, this Rock Diva has her moments but she is a truly talented musician and was inspired by the Lyric Gods when she wrote this song! I highly recommend it for anyones ipod but, get the version of her singing it live at the Grammy's... all I can say, it is absolutely stunning! and It is my # 1 fav!
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted
Have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said "I just don’t care"
It’s only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
The breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you’re not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It’s only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
La la la la la la la la
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight
~Glitter In The Air - P!nk

Feeling alone.... Ain’t funny how it can change you’re mind
how can I tell you... what you mean to me
I know, I know, its just like a fairy tale... But they say its stupid and never real
Yeah I know
I’m looking for a way to fit in, please don’t runaway... oh how can I possibly hurt this much?
To be this close yet so far away....
How does it feel to be so beautiful?
I would give it all away to see you coming my way, to be the one you noticed
you’re like the sun on a cloudy day, an angels song in the night, that’s my fairy tale of you...
We always used to talk about how when you left it would be different, but we would change it...
but then it really did
I never got to tell you how it really was, with my feelings towards you...
But I couldn’t tell then, all I could do was cry in front of you, those words my heart couldn’t say, those words concerning you...
oh....those words concerning you....
Oh how I pray I can make it through the fall... and to see that fairy tale for real
I long for the moment I see you again, for my miracle... oh my miracle
my fairy tale, my fairy tale of you
I turned my perfect moment away, theres no going back...
Feeling alone.... Ain’t funny how it can change you’re mind
how can I tell you... what you mean to me
I know, I know, its just like a fairy tale... they say its stupid, never for real
yeah I know... I’ll just try.
